Feedback & Reports

River seemed in reasonable condition, but lowish water. Plenty of fly life hatching off the water but only saw two rises all day. No luck for me today, but saw 2 large perch mooching around in the slow water and a kingfisher, so it was a pleasant few hours fishing.

Plenty of fly life and feeding fish. Fish hard to please.

1 Smoult Caught - thought this would be a bit late. Very quickly and safely released.
Lovely short beat - lost a fantastic fish just around the corner....quiet tricky casting towards the end of the beat but lovely fishing. Was slightly cold to get everything going!

Fish in a fussy mood, but quite active at times. 3 smaller trout caught, several larger specimens lost.

2 good sized trout: 1 around 1.5lb and the other perhaps 1lb. Both taken on a Prince Nymph, in the rough water below the weir near the top of the beat.

A fun, if not hot and sweaty, beaster of an assault course, on an old favourite today !!! Agility is key here, and keyhole casting !! The winter floods have caused mayhem tbh !!! Some fab old pools have now gone, along with more woody debris across the river. Yes, it provides great cover and lovely deep pools, scoured under them, but its a scramble to get around !!! Always good fun, hard earned fish today on the dries ....as always!!!
I fished between eleven and just shy of 3pm .... Great mix of upwings on the go from one ish. Large Darks, brook duns, olive Uprights, and masses of black gnats!!!! Fish properly looking up from about half one .... Great fun today, where i could get a cast away...And, to think I gave this a dam good trim last season start !! Wonder if the Kington club does any work there anymore ????
Anyway, lost two lumping fish, powerful lunges , and then off !!! Gggrrrrrrrr.... Eight made it to my net, great fun on tiny dries....
Those stunning Arrow fish .... red spots and those distinctive parr markings that stay on the adult fish!!! They've gotta be the most stunning fish of all the wild stresms .... Just magical !!!
Anyway, I even dodged the rain, which was coming down quite heavy as I was driving back to Rhayader ...much needed i must say ..Even the Arrow needs a top up !!! Back out on thr streams next week on two client days ....Lovely jubbley !!!!
